Well, I noticed recently that many people are complaining about lack of $$ and some need additional stuff to do for extra income. I have something you could possibly do.

It's called transcripting, if I'm not mistaken. You get video material (short movies) and I need you to type all the stuff that people say in them. NO TIMECODES NEEDED, it's not subtitling. Just a separate line for each character in a dialog.

I'm paying 60 USD per hour of video material. That would be ~30USD per hour of your time. And there's a lot of it (videos).

So think of it. As to the price - I googled some stuff on the net about average earnings per hour and 30 bucks/hour for a rather mindless job like this sounds ok.

Forgive me for being curious but you are offering this work and you seem unsure as to what it is exactly.. $30.00 is more than 98% of the working people in the U.K earn - despite govt figures which of course take into account very high earners/low earners then pool the figure and get an average! Its called cooking the books Smile

Thx for the info. But I'm pretty sure I'm ready to pay $60 per hour of video, which takes a non-native english speaker like me around two hours to transcript.

Thank you all for the PMs (got A LOT of em, big surprise). In order not to copy paste the same shit in different letters here's a few general comments:

1) non-english guys: with all respect to your TOEFLs etc - sorry, it just won't work, I know it from personal experience;

2) "I have spare time after a hard day's work" - sorry, I'm pretty sure it won't work either. Despite interesting content (the movies) the job ain't as fun as it may seem, you have to concentrate and it's a bit tedious, so I guess you'll want to hit the bunk as soon as you start Very Happy

3) How it's done: you open two windows, a small video player window and a text editor (non-Word) below. Listen to a character's line -> Pause -> Type in text editor -> [repeat]

4) Payment - weekly. And yes, Paypal seems the only solution.


And finally here's a sample video for everyone's consideration:
http://rapidshare.com/files/112660014/Chemistry_norm_Archos_.avi.html

It's a 'biggie' - 4 pages in Word, but that's rather an exception. Usually a movie like this is 2 pages.

P.S. mods, that video ain't copyrighted or pirated material

Just a thought, what do you need all this for?

Are you doing some kind of research or something?

5) It's for a TV channel I work for

6) I need AT LEAST one hour of source video transcripted PER DAY. You can do five if you want but one hour is teh minimum. It would be preferable if the texts were sent on a daily basis and not once per week.

7) Plese don't do the test transcript just for fun because you're confusing me. I don't understand whether you're a candidate to consider or just a cool guy Very Happy


#6 is the most important part for anyone who considers this job

Well, I'd start with giving smaller portions (like 2-3 hrs) to several people just to see whom I can count on and who'll drop it in a couple of days. Then it will be a hardcore team of 2-3 guys, I guess. Or even 1-2.

Yeah, sorry dude. The thing about native speakers is that sometimes even perfect knowledge of a foreign language doesn't allow you to hear what they're mumbling in the video. Especially with SFX and noise.

As to Nforce - yeah, well first of all it's Nforce and second it's the only place anyone would trust a sneaky fucking russian Very Happy

not to start an argument, but VR is right in wanting native (ie have used for entire life) English speakers. I work with several extremely competent ESL people (more than half of my department) but I can always pick out when grammar is off or the words used aren't quite right.

I know it includes anal, oral, rimming and fisting but those services are not required yet so it's still $60.

You're right that people use 'mean' (or average income) to make things appear better than they seem. You should look for the term 'median' income which refers to the person who is actually in the middle Wink
